2In the two collections examined, the dimensions of ‘gall-figs’ differ considerably, 1.5-2 cm or 4.5-6.5 cm diameter.
1This species resembles F. baeuerlenii and F. odoardii in the shape and dimensions of the leaves and the figs. It is distinct in the rather sparse indumentum, mainly consisting of setose and irritant hairs.
